Seattle Sounders' Clint Dempsey voted Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April

Not much of a shock. Considering the April he had, scoring seven goals and leading the Seattle Sounders to the top of the league standings, it was almost a foregone conclusion that the US national-team star would blow away the competition.

And blow them away he did, garnering more than 84 percent of the fan vote this week.
